I only was at Benning, Stewart Bragg Walter Reed. I think it has to do with how "high Speed" or how elite the units are. They encourage you to be aggressive and people start to believe their bullshyt. Plus it was the "crunk" era and we were at war, so nikkas gased themselves up.
carolina live and that Palace were off limits so that's where we went all the time.
Just imagine if you were in the Army when Knuck if you buck was out. nikkas would go crazy when that shyt came on and they played that shyt to death.
Haha yeah I get it. I moved there in summer '05, that was the summer of Trap Or Die, Knuck If U Buck, Gucci, Tha Carter. I know the school bands used to play those songs and got people wild for real...
I only lived there for a year and got arrested in '06 and sent to prison for burglary. When my codefendant and I were arrested, we had a wild weekend of running in shyt in one neighborhood, and they tried to put a rape on us and a body, Army cat was found killed in the woods not far from his apartment. They questioned us and threatened to charge us but we didn't do either and never got charged...
I have a unique perspective, when we came here no one expected to stay here. None of my family is from Fayetteville (none of my family is even from the East Coast), and I was only sent here to live with my dad because I got kicked out of school in Virginia. Had never been before, but i saw my parents the other day and reflected on how I've now been watching Fayetteville grow for 15 years now. It is a different place, for the better, than it was when I first slid thru. Still ain't alot to do lmao, but it's definitely growing in the right direction...
I don't believe in the thought process of "I'm fighting for your freedoms, etc." You didn't get drafted. You volunteered. There are a lot of quagmires we've stuck our nodes in for a variety of reasons that I believe we should have left alone. You're maintaining our place on the world order and that's fine, but I'm not going to bend over backwards because you wear a uniform when in reality, you joined for a Dodge Challenger. Much of the money spent in Afghanistan could have been used on our decaying infrastructure here.
Bruh I'm 100% the same mindset, I will say living in a military-dominant community like Fayetteville soured me quickly on all that stars and stripes patriotism. I'm 100 with you on this!
